How
do I know this is Elemental Silver? Don Smolley, a dealer at the Richland
Lithic and Lapdary Show held in June each told me so. I'm impressed that
he would know because he tells me about the travels he makes while looking for
samples. I've never discovered his ID to be wrong.
As
I write, it is 11:51AM on Saturday, 11-9-19. The buckeyes play Maryland
at 12:00PM on TV. I must wait until 1:00PM to watch so that I can avoid
watching all the commercials. I normally eat my lunch at 11:00AM but I
want to wait until 1:00PM to eat my lunch. I have a bath at 2:00PM.
I can't seem to live without a schedule. Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm
listening to Pat Matheney Group's album "The Road to You." It's
jazz and my friend Jim told me about this group.
These
samples are mounted on a black piece of Matte in an area about 1 inch
square. You can start to see the challenge, I am sure. To the best
of my knowledge, they don't make zoom lenses for photomicrogrophy.
All
these samples come from Bulldog Mtn., Creede Colorado. This one looks
like a tree or a leaf to me. The FOV, field of view, here is
2.25mm. My point is that it is a bit of challenge to decide the lens
combination with which to photograph to obtain a frame filling image. In
photographing the samples on the card at the top I used five different lens
combinations.
